MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas to everyone, have a joyful holidays.

I really, really miss my family around this holiday season. Christmas is always about being with them, just spending the whole day (or week) together. My first Christmas without my family, it sucks! Well not really, but I really miss them.

Manchester United are world's best!

After conquering England and Europe, Manchester United were crowned kings of the world in Japan early this morning. United made history being the first British team to win the Club World Cup. After beating Gamba Osaka a few days earlier in the semifinal, United played LDU Quito to determine which club rules the Earth in 2008.

In the first half, United played brilliant football, dominated the match and created good chances, but was unable to make it count. Ji-Sung Park, Wayne Rooney, and Carlos Tevez each had at least one great chance, but LDU Quito's goalkeeper was equal. Both teams went into the break scoreless.

Only five minutes after the interval, Nemanja Vidic got a straight red from the referee after elbowing the opponent in the face. Tevez was sacrificed by Sir Alex Ferguson and young Jonny Evans grabbed his chance keeping the United defense solid.

Down to 10 men, United were unable to press LDU quite as well as in the first period, forcing Edwin van der Sar to make very good saves. But the English champions didn't let the man disadvantage get in their way. In the 73rd minute, Michael Carrick found Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle of the box, who drew 3 LDU defenders to him. Seeing Rooney on his left unmarked, Ronaldo laid the ball in front of him and Rooney's first touch strike to the left corner couldn't be stopped by LDU's goalkeeper. Only one goal was needed to determine the best club in the world.

Line-up: Van der Sar; Rafael (Neville), Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Ronaldo, Anderson (Fletcher), Carrick, Park; Rooney, Tevez (Evans).
Unused subs: Brown, Giggs, Nani, Scholes

Rooney, scoring 3 goals in 2 matches, equalled the competition's all-time top goalscorer record. He was also named this year's tournament's best player while Ronaldo was named second best.

I'M DONE!!!

Fall 2008 semester is finally over! I had my last final (Psych) this morning and now I'm done!!! And it's snowing A LOT right now. Hoping that it would stick around. Supposedly there's gonna be storm/blizzard today and it's gonna snow the whole weekend - according to weather.com anyway (which is rarely right, somehow) I'm so happy!!!

Jose Reunion

Manchester United will be facing Jose Mourinho once again. Jose with his new team Inter Milan is drawn against United at the Champions League first knock-out stage. The two teams will meet at San Siro on Tuesday, February 24th, 2009 for the first leg.

Complete draw:
Chelsea v Juventus
Villarreal v Panathinaikos
Sporting Lisbon v Bayern Munich
Atletico Madrid v FC Porto
Olympique Lyonnais v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Liverpool
Arsenal v AS Roma
Internazionale v United

The last time United was at San Siro, it was 2 seasons ago in the Champions League but the opposition was AC Milan. United was outclassed and outplayed there. The last time United faced Jose in the competition, he was the manager of FC Porto and knocked United out. So history goes to them, but we're a different team than two years ago, and a couple before that. COME ON UNITED! We can actually be the first team to win the top European Cup twice in a row.

Finals week

It's finally finals week here at Rutgers. My first final is Linear Algebra, tomorrow morning at 8am! >_____<" I have no idea how I'm gonna wake up that early cos lately I've been waking up at 11.30-12pm. But since it's a final exam I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be able to wake up. I sure do hope so. Been trying to study for it the whole day today but I keep on getting distracted every 5 minutes. Studying is HARD!!!

Spent last week watching all 5 seasons of Entourage (it's pretty good, but not really something I'm gonna watch over and over again) and since yesterday I've been watching Friends again. (already at S02E03 now)
